  • In contrast to the most common math programs in the United States, Singapore math devotes more time to fewer topics, to ensure that children master the material through detailed instruction, questions, problem solving, and visual and hands-on aids like blocks, cards and bar charts.

      I like this idea and can see many teachers identifying the importance of students fully understanding topics in order to move on. However, without fully adopting this math program, it seems school curriculum is often so structured on an upbeat pace that would make this style of learning difficult to commit to in the secondary levels..?

      Link to website that contains mostly resources for purchase to guide you through SingaporeMath style as school/parent.
  • But school officials caution that Singapore math is not easy or cheap to successfully adopt.

      see link above. You would think it was a website to help you understand the approach better but appears to be mostly a location for resource sales.

      seems that teachers are able to benefit from it and gain a stronger understanding of topics along with the students
  • Ideally, they do not move on until they have thoroughly learned a topic.

      ideal pace for a "perfect world" to ensure strong understanding of topics by students before moving on
